A radically customized 1957 Chevrolet Corvette redefines first-generation performance with a Pro Street build focused on massive big-block power and modern drivability. The red two-door convertible represents an investment exceeding $120,000, merging classic aesthetics with contemporary engineering.
The heart of the build is a 625 cubic-inch big-block Chevrolet engine generating a claimed 840 horsepower and 820 lb-ft of torque. The powertrain alone, including the transmission, accounts for over $35,000 of the total cost, delivering output far beyond the car's original 1957 specifications.
Modernization includes a Holley Sniper EFI system for precise fuel management and reliability. The chassis and drivetrain, featuring a Ron Davis frame and TCI transmission, are built to handle the immense power while keeping the car street-legal.
Additional contemporary features like a backup camera are integrated into the vintage platform. The car's craftsmanship and performance have earned national recognition, showcasing how an iconic American sports car can be transformed into a high-horsepower Pro Street masterpiece.
